Briess crystal 40L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts a gold to orange color to beer. It has a flavor that begins to approach complex, with notes of toffee emerging with the sweetness and caramel flavors that are typical in lighter malts. Briess crystal 40L also adds body and head retention, as well as residual sweetness.
